5 Must Visit Patios in Calgary and Banff

Like you, we too like to take the time and enjoy life.

The hot weather is a reminder that we all need some outdoorsy time. And we’re not talking about a hike this time, but rather enjoying the summer sunsets as the evening breeze blows in.

Let's be honest, as much as we all say to each other in the winter, 'Why do we live here?', there’s no better place to be in Calgary (or out in Banff) than sipping drinks on the patio in the summer.


Because we are spoiled for choice in this city, here are some of our team’s top recommendations for patios in Calgary.

3 Fun Kid Friendly Hikes Near Calgary

3 Fun Kid Friendly Hikes Near Calgary

We love hikes.

Hiking on kid friendly hiking trails with the whole family is what we do!

Getting out into the wilderness is amazing.

Below are 3 different hikes that we have recently completed and depending on your child's level of hiking ability, any of these could be a fun outing for everyone!

Lake Agnes Tea House

This hike is totally worth the drive to Lake Louise. We recommend getting there early, even before 8 a.m. if possible as the parking lot fills up fast! The hike up to Lake Agnes is about 3.8 km (round trip 7.6 km), which doesn’t seem long but it is a steady incline all the way, but there are flat spots along the way that make for rest stops. 

At the base…

“Hello? Can you hear me? Am I muted?”

These days, we all understand what it’s like to move our lives online. Office conference calls. Ordering groceries. Meeting clients. Even playing games with family members.

July 2020 - Market Update

July 2020 - Market Update

The market in Calgary is ever changing. We are seeing a real mix of multiple offers, urgent buyers as well as areas of the city that are taking longer than normal to sell. It is safe to say that for some markets in Calgary we are seeing the spring market in full bloom.

In the month of June there was a 6% increase in the number of listings that came on the market compared to June 2019. This is showing us that there is demand and a need/want for many Calgary families to move and experience a change during these COVID months.

If home sales continue like we saw in June, we could see a stop of the downward pressures on the prices of homes in and around our city. But that won't be known until later.
